Join Us in Philly on Thursday!

FreedomWorks and local tea party groups are hosting a full day of activist education and grassroots training this Thursday, September 29th, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. We will be discussing issues impacting Pennsylvania and the nation.

Speakers and panel experts will offer a free-market perspective on topics like energy policy, government spending and school choice. In addition, attendees will participate in a 2012 strategy session, a live demonstration of the online organizing platform FreedomConnector and an official field hearing of the newly-formed Tea Party Debt Commission.

This exciting event is open to the public and tickets are just $10 at the door for the entire day.

FreedomWorks helped organize a School Choice Rally/Press Conference in front of City Hall in Philadelphia yesterday together with several other organizations. It was so heartwarming to see 700 inner city kids come out to chant for more opportunity and a better future. Every child is entitled to a good education which is essential to leading a happy, productive and rewarding life.

What do Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, South Carolina Governor Nicki Haley, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, and Mississippi Governor Bryant all have in common? The answer: They are all in full support of statewide education reform. In fact, Governor Daniels has successfully passed reform legislation in Indiana. Which brings me to wonder, where is Governor Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania?

Last week, the Mifflin County 912 Tea Party and the Williamsport Tea Party partnered with FreedomWorks and held successful events motivating and training citizen activists on key issues not only at the state level in Pennsylvania but at the national level as well.

With the passage of SB1 through the state Senate 27-22 Wednesday evening, Pennsylvanians are closer than they’ve ever been to enjoying the benefits of true choice and competition in their school system.
For more than 10 months, FreedomWorks and our allies across the state have been fighting to achieve school choice, but the work isn’t finished.

This week, a homeless mother in Connecticut is being dragged into court and faces a possible jail sentence for sending her 6yr old son to a school that was not in her district (not that she had a district-she was homeless).

Dear Representative,
On behalf of over a million FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to support SB 1, the Opportunity Scholarship and Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act.” Introduced by Sen. Piccola (R-Dauphin) and Sen. Williams (D-Philadelphia), this bill would allow children the opportunity to attend a better school. We must ensure that all Pennsylvania children receive the quality education that they deserve.
